Houston 21 Baylor 21
The Cougars marched into
Baylor riding high after their 48-3
win over Lamar. Baylor, however,
was more prepared to play, scoring
on their opening possession, and
then driving a total of 41 yards for
two more scores following UH
turnovers. Trailing by three
touchdowns, the Coogs were able
to score to close within 21-7 at the
half. In the third quarter, Allen
Rice of Baylor fumbled near the
UH goal line and T.J. Turner came
up with the ball on a play violently disputed by the Bears. UH finally began to roll in the fourth
period, punching in an early TD
and then catching fire late in the
game. Houston had the ball with
2:26 remaining and quarterback
Lionel Wilson moved the offense
64 yards in only 4 plays to tie the
game at 21. Baylor's last gasp field
goal was blocked by T. J. Turner.
Besides Turner, several other
players turned in noteworthy performances: Dallas Wiggins rushed
for 124 yards and 2 TDs, Weedy
Harris made 21 tackles, 14 of
which were unassisted, Lionel
Wilson passed for over 200 yards,
tying a UH consecutive game
record and David Roberson caught
9 passes, the second best total in
Houston history.
